d-orbitals

Postby Shirley Liu 2I » Sun Oct 28, 2018 9:18 pm

Is there a convention for ordering the d orbitals, or can you just list the five orbitals in any order? (like how with p orbitals it goes: px, py, pz)

I believe convention is from least to greatest or greatest to least
Ex. - 5, - 4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
There are more specifics in naming them but I don't believe we have to know them

I think for d orbitals, there are dxy, dyz, dxz, dx2-y2, and dz2.
